CHAPTER SIX

By the time Bridge reached The Bethany’s double doors, he was out of breath. Though the rain had started to taper off, the sun still refused to make an appearance. At this point it would have felt like too little, too late anyway. Best to just wait and try again tomorrow. Read the rest of this entry »

Here is the 40 minute interview with actor Michael Fassbender (X-MEN: FIRST CLASS/300/INGLORIOUS BASTERDS) an director Steve McQueen (Hunger) on their new film ‘Shame’. This film was fantastic. I really hope to see this film nominated at award season time. It deserves it. These two gentlemen are class acts and give an in depth interview on the serious topic of the film and what went in to making this fine piece of cinema. Enjoy.

ABC Family has picked up one of its best rated series, Pretty Little Liars, for a third season, which is slated to launch next summer and they are getting 24 episodes. That’s huge for a drama. Big news for the cast and crew of the show. Now I have never seen an episode of this show, but one of our writers was doing an episode recap and review of each episode which were strikingly hilarious. Hope she comes back for more. She has her work cut out for her.

That’s right. Universal has hired David Ayer to write the script for the updated version of Scarface. We wrote about this a month or two ago about how this Scarface won’t necessarily be a sequel or remake, but rather just and updated version. The film will put a new spin on the outlaw tale first released in 1932 with Paul Muni playing an Italian who took over Chicago, and then turned into the ultra violent 1983 film that starred Al Pacino as Tony Montana, a Cuban who took over the cocaine trade in 1980s Miami.

It’s that time of year again where traditions reign supreme: Yule tide greetings, holiday parties, fighting with family, caroling, trimming the tree, spiked egg nog and awesomely bad Christmas album covers. It’s nice to know some things never change, like there being no such thing as a good Christmas album cover. So, as you settle in for your long winter’s nap with a cup of hot cocoa, here is another round of groovy Christmas albums covers to give you a giggle. Read the rest of this entry »

It can be argued that The Rolling Stones are in fact the greatest rock and roll band in the world, one that is still touring and recording music nearly 50 years after their debut. In that period of time the band certainly has amassed one hell of an impressive archive of unreleased studio and live recordings, and to every fan’s delight, The Stones recently launched their ‘Stones Archive’ website, which gives fans the incredible opportunity to take a peek inside that treasure trove of material, bit by bit.

As time goes by the albums that have already obtained classic status continue to become greater classics, nay, timeless. Of course, there is also room for more recent albums of late to obtain such status, but some become classics the day of their release, such as The Black Keys’ debut LP “The Big Come Up.”

I thought I take a moment to recognize a really great record from the last ten years into a new segment for Classic Waxxx. It was also an opportune moment to word play on “Black Friday” as well as celebrate the band’s first release, as they ready their seventh and latest LP “El Camino,” which is sure to be a great addition to the rest of their catalog.

It’s official, the USS Enterprise flies across screens Memorial Day Weekend May 17, 2013 for its much anticipated writer/director J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek sequel. In addition to the release date, the new Star Trek sequel will be filmed in 3D. Abrams’ co-creator and writer of Lost Damon Lindlelof will be co-writing the new Star Trek sequel with Abrams as well as the two original writers. And all the cast is expected to return for the sequel minus the characters who didn’t make it.

Over at UK’S Empire Magazine, Tom Hardy and Christopher Nolan speak about the villain Bane from the upcoming Batman: The Dark Knight Rises. Hardy talks about playing Bane while Nolan talks about Hardy playing Bane. Hardy was an excellent choice for this role. From what little I’ve seen from the trailers and stills, this third Batman film will be epic. Read the exchange below.

CHAPTER FIVE

The assassin showed no signs of stopping. The way he barreled down the sidewalk—his pistol making him a path—, one would think he knew something of Bridge’s reputation. If so, he had to be aware that even though the man had taken a bullet, Bridge could only be slowed down for so long. Once he recovered, he’d be mad as all hell. Read the rest of this entry »

Criterion rolls out the red carpet yet again with the re-release of the instant cult classic ‘Dazed and Confused’. This time it is on glorious blu-ray. This movie will live on forever. There really isn’t another movie like it. The characters, the music, the dialogue are all quoted and duplicated today. This film started the careers of tons of big named actors including: Parker Posey, Ben Affleck, Matthew McConaughey, Milla Jovovich, Joey Lauren Adams, and a few others. This re-release is virtually the same as the previous criterion release, but in blu-ray. And let me just say, it is worth the upgrade. The picture and sound are top notch.

As long as I can remember Thanksgiving has been my favorite holiday. There really is no holiday on the calendar that centers around food and family, and it’s the one day of the year where it is ok to stuff yourself into a food coma. Thanksgiving is also a favorite holiday for many, but many love the holiday because of the shopping day after known as ‘Black Friday.’

The older I get the less inclined I feel to venture out into the crazy public and spend money the day after Thanksgiving, especially since I feelcompletely lethargic after all that turkey and stuffing. But thanks to Record Store Day Black Friday, I again have an excuse to spend some cash on music and perhaps walk off some of those calories. Read the rest of this entry »

Just in time for the release of the new highly anticipated Muppet film, NBC has purchased the rights for a new tv series from Jim Henson’s studio called ‘The Nabors’. It will be a comedy about a human family and the repercussions they encounter living next door to a family of puppets. “Feature writer John Hoffman (Fox 2000′s Afterlife) and 30 Rock executive producer John Riggi will write the script for The New Nabors, which they developed with Lisa Henson and The Jim Henson Co.”

Anyway.

It seems that the two-hour season finale of this scrumptious show has been cut down to 90 minutes due to a full production schedule. The entire show has been rushed since day one, since Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk (the creators) had to finish shooting season two of their hit musical series Glee.

Or is it an ad for a new game show entitled Mexican Stand-off, where each contestant is given a deadly weapon and a disturbing piece of info about one or more of their fellow contestants before being pushed into a room with them?

I liked two things from Cars 2. It looks really good and crisp. And Bruce “man-god” Campbell lends his voice to one of the cars. That’s it. I don’t understand why Pixar lowered the bar with this one. Cars 2 actually should have been called “The Mater Show” since the film it 95% about him, which is just terrible on every level. Maybe it’s because I find Larry the Cable Guy just an untalented guy. The first Cars film has always been my least favorite of all the Pixar films, but that’s not saying much, because every Pixar film is AWESOME. AWESOME until this sequel. However this is one of the best looking Pixar films ever to grace blu-ray. And the 3D is top notch after the first big scene of the film. But does that make it worth the buy? You be the judge.

We reported a few weeks ago that Arrested Development would begin a new season after a few year hiatus. Several networks including Netflix were trying to get the rights to hit comedy series. Will it looks like Netflix has won that battle. Surprising move, but I think it will do very very well on Netflix. But over the past few months Netflix has lost almost 1 million subscribers due to their hefty price increase in return for doing absolutely nothing to improve the service. I was one of those subscribers who cancelled, but fuck….now I have to reinstate my account. I just hope Netflix distributes their original series in physical form. If they don’t I will be super pissed. Read the press release below.

Martin McDonagh’s new film is turning into a veritable powerhouse of acting. Woody Harrelson (Zombieland), Tom Waits (The Book of Eli), and Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace) have just been signed to join Colin Farrell (Fright Night), Sam Rockwell (Moon) and Christopher Walken (everything) in Seven Psychopaths, a story of dog-napping, drama, and lack of motivation.

Hollywood has a rich tradition of releasing competing movie projects at virtually the same time. Armageddon squared off against Deep Impact. Before that, Big duked it out with Vice Versa and roughly 87 other body-swapping comedies, the last of which was kept on a shelf until finally being released earlier this year (The Change-Up). So it is that two studios have set their sights on updated interpretations of Snow White, currently scheduled to be released with 3 months of each other. Read the rest of this entry »

Translating a book–especially a popular one–to the big screen is a tricky thing. If you’re in need of confirmation on this, just look to the Harry Potter series, where the movies were just as often accused of getting it wrong as they were praised for getting it right. Should the filmmakers be more concerned with producing a good movie or being slavishly reverent to the source material? That’s a difficult question to answer. For my money, the film must be able to stand on its own while not entirely disavowing the core of what made it popular in the first place. The cast and crew must continuously walk a fine line between winning over a new audience and alienating the old one.

WOW. South Park has just been renewed on Comedy Central for three more seasons making it cable’s longest running animated series. This will keep the series with new episodes through 2016 meaning it will hit 20 seasons. Congrats Trey and Matt and everyone at South Park. I can’t believe this awesome show premiered back in 1997.

Dare I say Toy Stoy 3 is my favorite of the three Toy Story films? Yes, I dare say it. Pixar has given me so much over the years in the ways of great and original stories, characters, laughs, and tears. Upon hearing that Pixar would be making yet a third film, I was excited yet a little weary on a third sequel. Track records show the third sequels of many films have been terrible. I was just hoping this would not befall Pixar’s flawless track record. Well let me just say, that Toy Story made me laugh out loud several times, shed a few tears, and talk about how great the film was for weeks. Not to mention that the 3D in Toy Story 3 is top notch. This is the best the 3D has looked out of any of the Pixar films. This is a must own film and must have for any 3D lover. Toy Story 3 rocks!!

CHAPTER FOUR

Bridge was faced with a decision, a choice between two evils, neither of which was in his favor. Should he stretch his light out to reveal what had become of his would-be client or draw the candle closer to inspect the ruins of his own gut? In the end, the woman won out if only because he was still in a state of shock, and he knew he needed to take advantage of that fact before it wore off and the pain of what had happened to him set in.

There is some speculation on this point. According to Gervais, NBC has invited him, but the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) has yet to extend a formal proposal. Gervais has twice hosted the Golden Globes awards, but his blunt, equal-opportunity-slammer style does not appeal to everyone.

Toy Story 2 is definitely in my top list of best sequels ever. It shares the list with Godfather 2. It’s always a crap shoot with sequels, but Pixar did it right with Toy Story. It added new lovable characters along with some new villains. And again with the 3D, this sequel amps of the 3D from the first film. The story is just as good as the first one and adds new laughs and plot. It never seems redundant from the first film and is always quick to satisfy. Also let us note that this was the first time Pixar toyed with my emotions making me choke up. They enjoy doing this to me in later movies like Wall-E, and Up. But, Toy Story 2 3D edition is badass on all levels and any 3D enthusiast and lover of films and Pixar should rush out to get this.

I can’t believe it has been over a decade since Pixar won me over with Toy Story. Year after year, Pixar has shown me their films and for three years in a row their films were my absolute favorite of the year. It all started with Toy Story. I always thought as I’m sure most of you did that when I left my room or house, that my toys were alive and talked and had fun together without me. Toy Story showed me how this could be real. Not only did Toy Story create what I dreamed of every day, but it paved the way for every CG film made since then. Toy Story was the first. It truly was a milestone and achievement in filmmaking. And add to that they amazing story, cast, and music. I whole heartedly love this movie.

Now I’ll be honest. I have only seen the first Pirates film and now I have seen the latest ‘On Stranger Tides’ film. I didn’t care much for the first film. I felt it dragged and was too boring. I know it had a huge budget and was full of adventure, but the adventure and action was less than stellar. I know I’m the odd man out on this issue as I know tons of friends love this series of films and swear by it, but really never did much for me. Saying that, I do think Johnny Depp is AMAZING in these films. He definitely deserves an Oscar WIN. Other than that and maybe the fact that Keith Richards has a little something to do with the films, I just can’t get into it. Same rings true for this ‘On Stranger Tides’ sequel. Yes, it had a bit more thrill and fun, but ultimately fell short. I wish I felt differently. I really want to like these movies, but sadly I can’t do it.

Advertised as a cerebral science fiction story, Melancholia presents the story of two women’s reactions to the end of the world. Now, I personally wouldn’t call this sci-fi in the least, since the only science fiction components act as little more than a backdrop to do a character experiment. Rather, this is actually a surrealist expression and study of two different personalities.

Over the past few days there has been a lot of commotion about the upcoming Oscars telecast. Rush Hour director Brett Ratner was going to produce the show while Eddie Murphy was set to host the telecast. After a few unfavorable remarks from Ratner, he “resigned” from producing duty and shortly after Murphy backed out as well. Brian Grazer took over as producer and the Oscars have just announced that Billy Crystal will now host the Oscars.

CHAPTER THREE

“How did you hear about me?”

This was a standard question on Bridge’s part. He asked it of every potential client, though maybe not for the reasons one might think. It had nothing to do with growing his little one-room business. If anything, he wanted fewer people knocking on his door and he needed to know how the ones who did knock were finding out about his services in the first place.

Linda Lovelace’s story is infamous. A Florida schoolgirl, fresh-faced and innocent, became a porn star practically overnight when she met a man with a vision…of her naked on film. The script for the film is based on the book “The Complete Linda Lovelace” by Erik Danville. Seyfried (Letters to Juliet) is in talks to play the title role.

Martin Campbell (Green Lantern) is looking to direct another adaptation, this time of the 1981 TV series The Fall Guy. It would be right up his alley – sort of silly, but with enough heart to push through.

for Beggar’s Carnivale, a Three-Penny Circus. This show is not to be missed!! It’s an amazing one-of-a-kind show embodying the lost arts of vaudeville, slapstick, silent film comedy, variety arts, and of course, burlesque! Returning from St. Louis for the second time here in Dallas, it’s a spectacle unlike anything you’ve ever seen. This time around the show features performances by: Lola Van Ella (named in the top twenty burlesque entertainers in the world!), Sammich the Tramp, Jeez Louise, high flying aerial duo August and Indigo, Peter Peculiar- Contact Juggling Circus Wonder, and more! Reserve your tickets here – last month’s show broke our all-time attendance record and the theatre was nearly at capacity! I hope to see you there, darlings!

After two years in the “To Do” inbox, Conviction is being made. Not the Hilary Swank trial flick, but a heist movie in the vein of Ocean’s Eleven and 48 Hours. Steve Carell, star of so many funny hits, is dug in deep.

CHAPTER TWO

The hallway was narrow, much narrower than any architect in his right mind would have designed. Had the blonde stretched her arms straight out to her sides, she would have run the risk of rubbing her knuckles against the walls. Instead, she drew her elbows in tight and tested each new step before committing to it, as if the floor might give way at any moment. Read the rest of this entry »

Don’t get me wrong. Luc Besson has been a major love of mine since I was nine and seeing The Fifth Element for the first time (and the eighty since). But this is remake of a movie that Besson was involved with the first time. It even stars one of the original leads (David Belle). Admittedly, I’m not sure you could do a remake of Banlieue 13 without Belle, since he created the sport that pervades the film.

Beautiful, talented, and more than meets the eye, Grace Kelly entranced audiences and then the political world for many years. When she died in 1982, 100 million people watched her funeral. These days, the people would be more interested in her acting career than her political one. Hollywood, however, is going to pay a tribute not to the actress, but to the princess.

For a while now, Steve McQueen (Shame) and Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class) have been making movies together. From 2008’s Hunger, which is now in the Criterion Collection, to the NC-17 rated Shame, they’ve been garnering quite a bit of critical acclaim from the film world. Now, their new project has drawn in another big name: Brad Pitt. He’s another one that if I need to tell you what he’s been in, you need to watch more movies. Or get out from under your rock. Though I’m sure it’s a nice rock.
